    I hear the sound of me unplugging the adapter, sounds a bit like a 'click'. No buzzing though, next time I unplug I will listen for it though.

    I think you have a mosquito problem rather than a power supply problem, str4ktt.

    Does your M17x make that buzzing sound when you unplug when the machine is on?

    No it makes noise only when I remove the AC Adapater. If I plug in the AC adapter, the noise goes away. Its not too loud though.
